A battle for future market share around Micro LEDs has quietly started. MicroLED refers to a high-density and small-size LED array integrated on a chip. As a breakthrough innovation in LED display technology, once the technology is mature, it will drive the demand for LED chips on a large scale. Recently, Foxconn parent company Hon Hai Group (2317) announced that it will acquire the US startup eLux through its venture capital subsidiary and the “Hon Hai Company†such as Sharp, Rongchuang (3437) and Innolux (3481). All shares hope to further accelerate the commercialization of Micro LED displays. Sharp, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Group, pointed out that the Group has long-term plans for Micro LED display technology. The decision was to jointly operate eLux with Hon Hai Group's investment company and sign a patent and business development cooperation contract with Sharp to accelerate the development and manufacture of Micro LED displays. Progress, reach the goal of achieving productization as soon as possible. Sharp said that the total investment of 7 million US dollars, obtained about 700,000 shares of eLux, about 31.82% of the shares, is expected to complete the capital on October 1. In addition, Hon Hai's subsidiary CyberNet Venture Capital will hold 45.45%, Group Ventures will hold 13.64%, and Rongchuang will hold 9.09%. As a startup, eLux was established in Delaware, USA on October 13 last year to develop and manufacture Micro LED displays. There are two main trends in the development of current micro-LED displays. One is Sony's main direction of attack - small pitch large size high resolution indoor/outdoor display. The other is Apple's launch of wearable devices (such as Apple Watch), the display part of such devices requires high resolution, portability, low power consumption and high brightness. At the InfoComm show in June 2016 and the IFA show in Germany, Sony demonstrated the "CLEDIS" LED display technology that uses Micro LED components as a pixel. This new technology, which is described as capable of challenging OLEDs, is very mysterious. Sony plans to launch the market from January to March 2017. Sony CLEDIS technology is actually a small-pitch LED display technology with a dot pitch of 1.2mm. This small-pitch LED display is a single pixel through the combination of RGB three-color LED devices, encapsulating multiple pixels into screen elements, and then dropping multiple elements to form a complete display unit, and finally we see the large-size LEDs. The screen is mostly formed by seamlessly splicing the display unit. This type of display unit is combined to change the size and aspect ratio of the screen depending on the application and location. The screen borders of each component are very thin, placed up and down and left and right together to create a large screen with almost no seams. Imagine mainly for B2B applications, including digital signage, public large screens, exhibition hall displays, and automotive design reviews. As the industry generally believes that the application of new technology of Micro LED has the opportunity to set off a revolutionary innovation in the display industry, attracting international manufacturers to try. Also joining the Micro LED market is the US Apple. Although the upgraded Apple Watch in 2016 still uses the same OLED screen as the previous generation, Apple's smartwatch may be undergoing a major adjustment in 2017. It is said that Apple is developing Micro LED technology for the future Apple Watch phenotype. It is reported that Apple will use the Micro LED panel to replace the OLED panel currently used by Apple Watch in the second half of this year. Apple has set up a laboratory in northern China in April 2015 to develop Micro LED technology. In 2016, Apple lit up a 6-inch FHD Micro LED pilot project, while existing MicroLED samples have pixel granules of 30um. However, the main problem facing Apple at present is that the luminous efficiency of the Micro-LED display panel is still low, that is, about 60 to 70% lower than that of the OLED. In response to the above problems, Apple is trying to improve the Micro LED technology with sapphire glass substrates and silicon wafers. Previously, Jingdian has cooperated with some mobile phone brand manufacturers to develop Micro LED for many years. From the development of equipment supply chain, many equipment manufacturers have developed Micro LED production equipment, and it is expected that the equipment is likely to enter in 2017. plant. Jingshi spokesperson Zhang Shixian has publicly stated that due to the small size of the Micro LED, the epitaxial and grain processing of the crystal electric power must be jointly developed with the transfer equipment and system applications. In the process of epitaxial and grain, the success rate of Micro LED is high. As for whether it can be mass-produced and shipped in 2017, it will be very hard. Micro-LED is considered the most direct competitor is OLED. The latter has hundreds of billions of dollars in investment worldwide, and production capacity has been formed. Micro-LED is still on the threshold of the most basic technology. However, Hon Hai Group's success in the LED industry has made the industry generally confident in its investment in Micro LED. In 2007, Fang Rongxi was sent from Qunhuang to Rongchuang by Guo Taiming. In the face of the dilemma of losing more than 1 billion yuan, he introduced Innolux's system management method and introduced Japan's Nichia, which has the largest number of LED patents in the world, as the single largest shareholder. The two mothers of Shangchuang and Hon Hai are the estuaries of the company's products. The vertical strategic alliance of the upper, middle and lower reaches finally turned Rong Chuang into a profit. In 2013, Rongchuang realized a revenue of NT$6.5 billion (converted to RMB 1.35 billion) and became one of the top three LED packaging factories in Taiwan, second only to Yiguang and Dongbei. In 2016, Rongchuang Financial Report showed that it achieved a revenue of NT$13.8 billion (equivalent to RMB 3.142 billion) and ranked among the top ten LED packaging plants in the world.
